GML 891N. The same line of lode as the Gibraltar and Karangahaki but at the southern end. It is now marked by an elongated pit a few hundred metres north-west of the Bluebird processing plant.
In 1910 is was described as veins of east-west quartz in a low grade lode with a shaft to 80 feet. It was originally pegged by M. O'Brien in June 1909, and changed through a number of hands until the lease was forfeited in July 1915.
A crushing amounting to 51.60 ounces of gold was found in 1916 by Fitz and Anderson. A five head battery was constructed on the site in 1932, but due to a lack of water it only crushed 40 tonnes for 6.34 ounces.
